2nd night in a row

riverbed · April 2011

That I have been woken up by my acid reflux. I will literally be choking on my own vomit. It is awful, and a bit scary. I am on RX Prilosec every day. I don't know what else to do. Any advice? I have ways to go before this baby is coming out and I don't want to do this every night.

Short of sleeping sitting up, I don't think there is much else you can do

Sorry, I don't have any advice. I've been going through the same thing at least a couple nights per week for the past several weeks and haven't found anything to relieve it. For me, it's been my number one least favorite/most difficult pregnancy symptom. Some nights I end up sleeping in an almost all the way sitting up position...it doesn't make it go away by any means, but at least there's a little less waking up to choking...

I had this happen 2 times in a row for me, too! It's scary and disgusting. I ate like 8 tums and made sure I was sleeping on my left side. For some reason it's worse if I'm on my right side. Also, the first time it happened, I had to just put pillows against the wall and sleep sitting up for a few hours, and then I could lay down again. I don't know if I have acid reflux or if I had those 2 experiences because I ate too late at night and couldn't digest my food in time before laying down, but I've stopped eating late and that has helped a lot.

I hope that this stops for you!!
